About Burayu
Burayu (Oromo: Burraayyuu, Amharic: ቡራዩ) is a city and special census zone in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia, located directly adjacent to the national capital city Addis Ababa (known as Finfinne in Oromo). With the rapid growth of the capital in recent decades and urban sprawl, the town has faced considerable economic and demographic pressures. The city's population has grown from merely 10,000 people in 1994 to an estimated 130,000 people three decades later; consisting of migrants from the rural south of Ethiopia looking for work along with former residents of Addis Ababa who sought cheaper housing in the surburbs.
